Another week has passed and many more things have happened in Erica's world. Once again, progress has been piecemeal, but hopefully at some point soon everything will start coming together (although at the moment we find ourselves again in the situation of wanting to do A, but we can't do that until we do B, and we can't do B because of C, but we can't do C until Wednesday and thus we find ourselves frustratingly stalled during a period of good weather).
Of all the things that we have done in the last week or so, the one that has won the race to have its video edited is the almost-removal of the wheelchair ramp (I say 'almost' because we left part of it, so as not to have a gaping hole in Erica's rear). The ramp had proved surprisingly useful for the first few weeks of the build, as walking up a ramp is much easier than constantly stepping up and down, particularly when carrying stuff) but we had reached the point where it was impinging on the construction of the gas locker.
The removal itself was more straightforward than we had anticipated, so the video isn't very long, even with my explanatory chat at the beginning and end. You can watch it here:
(As it went, not many sparks flew, but note in the cutting footage the jug of water on standby in case I set fire to the dust-sheets we'd rigged up to keep the metal shavings away from Erica's body!)
The angle grinder is good for satiating one's power delusions.
